Abstract:
Documents published in 2013 have revealed several classes of
"pervasive" attack on Internet communications. In this document we
develop a threat model that describes these pervasive attacks. We
start by assuming a completely passive adversary with an interest in
indiscriminate eavesdropping that can observe network traffic, then
expand the threat model with a set of verified attacks that have been
published. Based on this threat model, we discuss the techniques
that can be employed in Internet protocol design to increase the
protocols robustness to pervasive attacks.
